Banksy is an English street graffiti artist and
political activist making him the perfect candidate for the exhibition. By
using a stencil technique he is able to combine submissive epigrams and dark
humor is his street style. In this Banksy artwork we see two soldiers painting
a sign of peace. The original version was confiscated for breaking laws
regarding protesting in the London area. The painting is represented in this
exhibition because it is a form of repression of free speech and also as an
anti-war protest.
